I just finished this. What's weird is I bought it for 30 dollars a few weeks ago. Now it's about 150-200 dollars.
It was good. It explains the biodiversity differences between old-growth forests and secondary growth. Old-growth forests did not undergo human disturbances whereas managed or secondary growth were disturbed by logging and other human activities like chemical run-off. Old-growth forests tend to have more fungal, plant, amphibian, and so on biodiversity. They also store more carbon and are more abundant in biomass of birds, snails, and so on. The underground mycelium networks also tend to be more complex with the trees looking majestic with greater trunk volume, complex branches, and so on.
I would like to visit Oregon's old-growth forests in the future and hug some ancient trees.
